Transport Canada Recall - 2020203 - FORD

Issue:
On certain vehicles, there is a problem with the warnings to tell a driver that the transmission is not in Park. When the ignition is turned off, with the driver door closed, the message and chime to warn that the transmission is not in Park are only active for 3 seconds. Instead, the chime should sound for 10 seconds and the message should display for 30 minutes. As a result, a driver could exit the vehicle without realizing that the transmission is not in Park. If this happens, the vehicle could roll away.

Safety Risk:
Unintended vehicle movement could increase the risk of injury and/or a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Ford dealer to reprogram the instrument panel cluster.
